'My invention relates to animproved coin container and method of making the same and has for its object to provide a one piece coin container having a diaphragm closing oneend thereof and supported by an internal flange. I V H l The following is a description of an embodiment of my invention,'reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in

. Figure 1 shows a perspective view of my improved coin container Fig. 2 shows a section ofthe bottom part of a cylinder from which the bottom portion of the container is formed;

Fig. 3 shows the same placed upona man;

drel, as one of the steps of my process; Fig. 4 shows a succeeding step; Fig. 5 is aside elevation of the same; Fig. 6 shows two succeeding folds; Fig. 7 shows the final fold;

step

Fig. 9 shows the final crimping step Fig. 10 is a plan view ofthe completed bottom.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 2 is the body portion of the improved container having a diaphragm lin the lower end thereof and an internal flange6 supporting said diaphragmagainst the pressure of coins which may be placed therein.- The body tion inward, as shown at 12 in Figs. 4 and 5.

I then fold the adjacent parts one over the other as indicated at 14 and 15 in Fig. 6, and

ward as shown in Fig. 7 I then apply a second mandrel and move it so as to hold the folded portions against the first mandrel and 6.0 then move the shell relatively to. the two man- Fig. 8 shows a succeeding recess forming then fold the resulting point or flap downdrels so as to form a recess as shown in 8. I then removethe mandrel 18 and by means of a suitable crimper indicated conventionally at 20, crimp the edges of the recessed portions as indicated at 22, Fig. 9, completing the operation and producing myimproved container. The crimping device is of. any suitable form and as is usual with crimping devices is rotatedand as it rotates turns the I indicated in Fig. 9, forming an inward flange which supports the diaphragm which has" been forced toward the body portion of the container. When the flange is thus formed the container at the flange portion'has several times as many pliesas the body of the Com neaththe crimped flange as shown at 24 so as tobe securely held bythe flange.

The container thus formed is a strongand durable container closed adjacent to one end by a diaphragm which is supported by an internal flange, all the parts being integral.-

tainer. v shown,.in the drawings, the body portion of the container has one-ply and'the container at the flange has four plies. i

As will be evident to those skilled in the art, my invention permits various modifica tions without departing fromthe spirit thereof or the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim isz portion, an integral diaphragm closing one end thereof and spaced away from said end phragm comprising inwardly folded portions, the outer of which terminates free end beneath said flange.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to thisspecification this 9th day of October, 1928. a
